Chapter 102: Yunlai Mansion Belongs to Us Brothers (8000)

The most important and the most lacking thing for him now is people.

He lacks other things too, but not so seriously. Talent is the most important.

He just arrived at Yunlai Mansion. Now there are only two or three kittens left in the whole government office, less than ten people in total, and there is no way to dispatch them with confidence.

"Do you have a plan?" Xu Bai said.

Yun Zihai shook his head and said, "Brother Xu, let's keep in close contact. You go to Yinyi first. We can't both lose our sense of proportion. Once I find useful clues, I will notify you in time."

Xu Bai smiled and said, "It seems that you really want to drag me down."

"If it was before, I would definitely not do this, but now, I have no one I can trust." Yun Zihai turned his head and said, "Brother Xu, you will help me, right?"

Xu Bai continued to smile and said, "Helping you is helping me."

There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no free help.

Yun Zihai certainly understood this truth, and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "In the future, if Brother Xu has any problems in Yunlai Mansion, I will definitely do my best."

Xu Bai nodded: "Okay, I will help you with this matter."

Yun Zihai is the person in charge of Yunlai Mansion, and it is necessary to have a good relationship with him.

Xu Bai also hopes to make more progress here, which is naturally necessary.

In the future, he will be in charge of Yinyi, and Yun Zihai will be in charge of Yunlai Mansion. Transportation and major events in the mansion will be occupied by both of them.

This means that in the future, Yunlai Mansion will be decided by the two of them.

"In that case, I will go to Yinyi first. If you have any movement, let me know, and I will come to help you then." Xu Bai said.

Yinyi is his main purpose, he must rush over to take a look, and then talk about it after taking over.

"Wait, Brother Xu." Yun Zihai raised his hand to stop Xu Bai, saying, "Before you go, I have something to ask for, it's a very important thing."

Xu Bai waved his hand and acted very generously: "Go ahead, just don't go too far."

Yun Zihai: "..."

He saw Xu Bai act very generously, and thought he was asking him to ask anything he wanted, but he just said, "Just don't go too far." He was helpless.

Of course, after being with Xu Bai for a long time, he naturally knew what kind of character Xu Bai was, and he didn't take it seriously.

"I want to borrow Liu Er from Brother Xu." Yun Zihai pointed at Liu Er: "I am indeed short of manpower here, and I don't trust these people. Take this autopsy report for example, there are many things worth pondering in it. For example, he glossed over many details. Obviously, he is just a person who eats and waits for death."

Borrowing people is also a helpless move. Yun Zihai had no other choice, so he proposed this idea. After all, he really didn't have anyone he could trust.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Liu Er's position, and said, "Okay."

Liu Er certainly did not object at all, bent down, and said, "I will follow the orders of the escort master."

In his opinion, the escort master and Lord Yun have a good relationship. As a sensible person, of course he should know what he should and should not do.

"Thank you, Brother Xu." Yun Zihai thanked him.

Xu Bai waved his hand and said, "Okay, in this case, let's do it according to our discussion. When the time comes, you can give me a message and I will go back to Yinyi first."

Yun Zihai nodded, indicating that it was okay.

After finishing the work here, Xu Bai did not stay any longer. He left Liu Er in the government office and turned around to leave for Yinyi.

Yunlai Prefecture Yinyi is also in a remote wilderness. After all, it is a post station that only special people can go to. It is easy to be exposed in an open place.

Before leaving, Yun Zihai gave him his appointment letter and the map to Yinyi. Xu Bai followed the map and hurried along the way. Nothing strange happened along the way, which made Xu Bai a little disappointed.

The more he attacked, the more flaws he found. He was now hoping that the other party would attack a few times so that he could find the flaws and find out the real culprit behind.

Unfortunately, the enemy hiding in the dark was obviously not a pushover. He knew that after attacking casually, he might leave clues that would expose him, so he did not choose to ambush Xu Bai in secret.

The journey was indeed very long. He did not ride a horse. He only relied on his legs to travel. It took him nearly an hour to reach the Yinyi.

This Yinyi was the largest Yinyi Xu Bai had ever seen. Standing at the door, he could see a wide area and many postmen staying in front of the stalls.

There were not only many stalls, but also many residences.

These houses were built very simply, but the structure was extremely solid, and it was obvious that people coming and going could stay overnight.

Among them, the most conspicuous house was slightly better in appearance and easier to identify.

Xu Bai's arrival attracted many postmen's attention. Some of them looked at each other, lowered their heads, and looked after their stalls, obviously not very interested.

In front of the largest house, a middle-aged man in a gray coat was standing at the door, holding an account book in his hand, as if he was writing something.

Xu Bai walked over and his eyes stayed on the middle-aged man's waist.

There was a sign hanging there, which was a sign dedicated to the postmaster.

I think this is the head of the Yin Post in Yunlai Prefecture, the person he is going to take over.

As if he noticed someone coming, the middle-aged man stopped recording and looked up at the direction of the footsteps.

When he saw Xu Bai, he was obviously stunned, but as his eyes turned and saw the ghost-head knife on Xu Bai's waist, he quickly reacted.

These people are well-informed. Just by identifying the ghost-head knife on Xu Bai's waist, they already know Xu Bai's identity.

"It turns out that it is Lord Xu." The middle-aged man put away the account book in his hand, and when Xu Bai approached, he raised his hand, smiled, and greeted him.

Lord Xu?

This is the first time someone has called him that.

Not to mention, it sounds pretty good.

Xu Bai touched his chin, looked up and down at the middle-aged man, and said, "May I ask what your name is?"

"My last name is Ou." Ou Yichang said his name with a smile, looked around, and quickly took Xu Bai to the house: "This is not the place for handover, let's go in and talk."

When walking, his steps are steady, his movements are crisp, and he has a sense of momentum.

"He is a master." Xu Bai thought to himself.

The door behind was pushed open by Ou Yichang. The facilities inside were simple, but very complete, whether it was a table and chairs, or tea sets and cups, they were all inside.

There was everything that should be there, even a kitchen.

"This book has recorded the various rules of the Yinyi, as well as the approximate layout and the surrounding buildings." Ou Yichang handed over the account book just now and put it on the table.

Xu Bai thought it was an account book, but it turned out to be a book. Obviously, Ou Yichang intended to use the simplest method to hand over.

What is the simplest method? It is to give you a book directly and let you read it yourself.

Xu Bai's eyes moved to the table, staring at the book on it, and smiled: "Master Ou, I think there are some things that you still need to tell me, otherwise I still don't understand, and just reading the book may not be very effective."

Master Ou was originally preparing to turn around and pack up his things, but he didn't expect that after hearing Xu Bai's words, his brows slightly frowned.

He walked closer, turned one of the pages, and pointed at the text on it.

"Master Xu, every line on it is written clearly, just need to read it, I also need to leave immediately and go to the next post station to take office. This is unavoidable, and I must save time."

The words were well-reasoned, and there was no place to offend Xu Bai, which seemed very reasonable.

Xu Bai raised the corners of his mouth, took out a small porcelain bottle from the bag on his waist, and then poured a pill from the porcelain bottle and put it in his mouth.

After doing this, he picked up the book on the table and turned to the first page.

"Not bad, not bad, it's really detailed, Lord Ou is thoughtful."

"Even every detail is not missed, it seems that Lord Ou spent a lot of time on this book."

"In my opinion, everything written here is true. After all, if you want me to read it, it will take a long time for the slow poison to work."

There is no problem with the first two sentences. When the last sentence came out, the eyes of the head of the post suddenly changed.

"Lord Xu, what do you mean? I really don't understand. I worked hard to make this book just to make you take over better. You are purely slandering me." The head of the post blushed and made a very angry expression. He pointed at Xu Bai and shouted angrily.

Xu Bai was unmoved. He lifted the book, let the pages face down, and then shook it vigorously.

As he shook, a lot of powder floated out of the pages, which was particularly obvious in the air.

"Yin food poison, a seventh-grade poison, is as powerful as a sixth-grade poison. The reason is that this poison is chronic. It will gradually erode people's blood over time, and eventually die of unknown causes." Xu Bai said indifferently: "I see that your face is ruddy, which is obviously not your original skin color, but the final manifestation after the poison enters the body and is relieved by the antidote."

Use poison?

Sorry, he is also a master of poison. The True Solution of Hundred Poisons is a seventh-grade poison scripture, which records many poison techniques.

And there is also a hundred fierce poisons, which are even poisons that even sixth-grade masters will be affected by.

Using poison techniques in front of him is simply a show of skill in front of an expert.

"Why don't you try this?" Xu Bai pulled out a ghost-head knife and placed it on the table. The blade flashed a dangerous light and was covered with a hundred fierce poisons.

The face of Ou Yichang turned from red to black, becoming extremely ugly.

He knew that the other party had discovered him, but there was no time to think about the current situation. He turned around and wanted to break the window and escape.

Xu Bai stepped aside and used the Four Body Movements to block the way: "If you tell me, I will kill you. If you don't, I guarantee you will tell me."

"You are looking for death!" Ou Yizhang roared, then he crossed his palms and slapped Xu Bai's head.

A faint green light appeared on his palms, full of a weird feeling.

Xu Bai circulated his true energy and used his Vajra Heart Demon Body. A layer of faint black light rose from his body. When Ou Yizhang's hand fell on the black light, Xu Bai immediately used Dou Zhuan Xing Yi.

The hand covered with green light suddenly turned and slapped Ou Yizhang's chest in the opposite direction, knocking Ou Yizhang away.

"Puff!"

Ou Yizhang fell to the ground, spitting out blood, staring at Xu Bai with anger on his face.

"You dare to attack the court officials and openly oppose the Great Chu State. Once others know about it, you will definitely be sentenced to death."

This sentence was said in a serious manner, as if it really happened.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "It seems that you have already thought of a backup plan. Once the poisoning strategy fails, you can forcefully attack me. If the attack fails, you can use this trick to frame me. That's great."

"Then, do you dare to kill me?" Ou Yichang sneered, "In the public eye, there are postmen outside. If I can't get out alive, think about what the rumors will say about you. Will His Majesty let you go?"

When he said this, in addition to sarcasm, there was also a hint of pride in his language, as if he felt very comfortable watching Xu Bai being humiliated.

He concluded in his heart that Xu Bai didn't dare to kill him.

Because he was still in the Yinyi now, if he couldn't get out alive, the postmen outside would find out and it would inevitably cause unnecessary speculation.

If it was spread out at that time, Xu Bai would not only lose his position, but would also cause greater trouble.

After all, according to the laws of the Great Chu State, openly killing an official of the court would definitely be severely punished.

Thinking of this, Ou Yinyi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his own intelligence.

"Dare." Xu Bai said indifferently.

"What did you say?" Ou Yichang was stunned.

As soon as the voice fell, he saw Xu Bai pick up the ghost head knife and cut through.

The limbs were broken, blood spurted out, and soon the floor was dirty.

Xu Bai used the trauma medicine from Qingxue to stop the bleeding of Ou Yichang's limbs, and then quickly raised his foot and stepped on Ou Yichang's mouth, making him unable to make a sound.

Ou Yichang's face was full of horror. He didn't understand why the other party was so decisive.

Why, why did he dare?

Aren't you afraid of the laws of the Great Chu?

Why!

"You...really not afraid?"

At this moment, although his limbs were painful, he couldn't suppress the astonishment in Ou Yichang's heart.

"I don't need to worry about your false accusation, as long as Yun Zihai believes it." Xu Bai said with a smile.

Where is this place? Yunlai Mansion.

Who is in charge of Yunlai Mansion? Yun Zihai is in charge.

Who is in charge of Yinyi? It is Xu Bai.

All together, it means that the two of them have taken over the entire Yunlai Mansion.

Afraid?

Not afraid.

"Come on, tell me, I want everything you know." Xu Bai took out the pills he got from Qingxue and used for torture, and said with a smile: "I remind you, it's very painful to eat this thing."

Ou Yichang stared at Xu Bai, especially after seeing the medicine bottle in Xu Bai's hand, he suddenly laughed.

Xu Bai frowned, and bad thoughts emerged in his mind.

Just as this thought came up, he saw that Ou Yichang had changed.

Starting from the top of Ou Yichang's head, layers of blood mist filled the air, and in the blood mist, Ou Yichang turned into a pool of blood in an instant.

"Corpse poison?" Xu Bai stepped back two steps, waved his sleeves, and dispersed the blood mist in front of him.

This thing is also recorded in the True Solution of Hundred Poisons. It is an extremely painful poison. After taking it, it will turn into blood in less than a moment.

"I am willing to take such a painful poison and don't want to tell the secret. It seems that the water in Yunlai Mansion is very deep." Xu Bai thought.

At this point, there is nothing to say. Xu Bai found a broom, cleaned the house, and went out directly.

As soon as he went out, he looked at the postmen around him, trying to see if anyone was wrong.

Unfortunately, these postmen behaved very normally, and no one showed that kind of abnormality.

Xu Bai thought about it and went back to the house. Then, he picked up the book on the table and began to check it one by one.

Even Yinyi is the pawn of the person behind the scenes. It seems that this network is extremely deep. He will first find out the function of Yinyi before making plans.

The content of this book is very concise, and every point is just right.

I think that in order to make him read it patiently, the postmaster Ou wrote it very carefully.

In less than an incense stick of time, he had finished reading all the contents. After reading it, Xu Bai found a cage in the cabinet in the house, and there was a pigeon in the cage.

This is the pigeon for contacting Yunlai Mansion, which can directly reach the government office, that is, Yun Zihai's office.

After all, Yinyi is under the jurisdiction of Yunlai Mansion, and this is a necessary communication tool, which is self-prepared.

Xu Bai thought about it, wrote down what happened, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and let the pigeon fly.

After doing all this, he did not sit idle, but stepped out of the door and followed the flight path of the pigeon, heading towards Yunlai Mansion.

The pigeon flew very fast, but Xu Bai's speed of chasing was not slow at all, and he used the four-step method to the fullest.

After a while, the pigeon flew into the government office, and Xu Bai came back again.

When he climbed over the wall, he saw Yun Zihai taking the pigeon in his hand and removing the paper from the pigeon's legs.

Yun Zihai also saw Xu Bai, and was obviously stunned for a moment, and said: "Brother Xu, didn't you release this pigeon?"

Xu Bai nodded: "I just want to see if this pigeon flew to you or somewhere else."

As he said, he told his experience again.

His purpose of following this trip was to see if the pigeon went directly to Yunlai Mansion. If there was anything abnormal in the middle, or if it arrived somewhere else, then there would be new clues.

Unfortunately, the other party seemed very cautious and did not make mistakes in these details, so there was no problem with the pigeon.

After listening to Xu Bai's story, Yun Zihai frowned: "Brother Xu, it seems that the other party not only doesn't welcome me here, but also doesn't welcome you."

"Indeed, they even use poison. It's good that way, otherwise this life would be too boring." Xu Bai said.

He didn't provoke anyone, just planned to develop in this place for a while, but he didn't expect that things would really come.

Could it be that every time traveler has a special protagonist aura and is born to attract trouble?

Xu Bai was speechless.

But since things have come to him, he must fight back fiercely and press the other party to the ground.

If you want to progress peacefully, you first need a stable environment, and a stable environment is created with your own hands.

"Notify me in time when you have the latest news. I must catch this person and let him see the dangers of this world." Xu Bai said.

It was the first time that Yun Zihai saw Xu Bai so angry, and he nodded quickly, indicating that he would notify him in time.

Xu Bai did not stay any longer. He had to rush back to Yinyi. He still had three progress bars to complete. He would make other plans after completing them.

At least before Yun Zihai found out, it would be very helpful to have an improvement.

…

When Xu Bai returned to Yinyi, it was already close to night. After a whole morning of hard work, he finally had some free time.

There were fewer people in the post station. Some of them were still packing up the things on the stalls and preparing to leave.

When they saw Xu Bai, they immediately came over and greeted him.

As for the new post station chief taking office, they were also local snakes in the surrounding area. They had long known that Xu Bai's identity was self-evident when he was welcomed into the house by the post station chief Ou this morning.

As for why the post station chief Ou had not appeared, they did not care so much. As post station people, they were just doing business. Who would care about those things in the officialdom?

Xu Bai did not put on airs. In his opinion, these people were his tools to make money.

However, before the postmen left, he still checked the postmen's things. After not seeing the progress bar, he lost interest and returned to the house.

"Hurry up."

Xu Bai sat on the recliner in the house, rocking gently, and took out the Zixiao Yushu.

Although the furniture in this house is simple, it is really nice to lie down. Not to mention, Ou Yichang knows how to live well, and the recliner is comfortable when lying down.

"You are so good, why do you bother me?"

Xu Bai looked at the slowly growing progress bar and shook his head.

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already late at night.

Xu Bai lit the oil lamp on the table and continued to work on the progress bar.

This life is good, and he also enjoys this kind of life of working on the progress bar. As long as there are no bad things, he feels that he is living a good life.

The room is dim, only the light of the oil lamp illuminates it, and the recliner shakes, making a creaking sound in the room.

The sound was shaking rhythmically, and after shaking for a while, Xu Bai felt sleepy.

The more dangerous the situation is, the more you need to maintain sufficient energy. Some things cannot be rushed, and must be done step by step.

Besides, the book in his hand is a fifth-level skill, so he can't rush it for a while.

Xu Bai stretched his body, put the book back into the box under the bed, and then lay on the bed.

There are all kinds of things in this room, including boxes, pots and pans, which saves Xu Bai a lot of worry.

Thinking of this, he felt more sleepy.

But when Xu Bai was about to fall asleep, something bad really happened.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

A slight sound sounded. If it was lively, this sound might not be heard, but in the quiet night, it was heard clearly.

It was a female voice, which sounded intermittently from time to time, and was disconnected from time to time.

And the tone was sometimes high and sometimes low, as if she was singing.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, turned over from the bed, and took the ghost-head knife next to him in his hand.

"The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds."

When he was in Sheng County, he could at least sleep soundly for a while, but now it seems that he may not be able to sleep soundly tonight.

Although the sound was intermittent, it had never completely stopped. Xu Bai came to the door, opened the door, and looked at the night outside.

Outside the door, there was silence.

There was a full moon in the sky, and the silver light was shining, like a layer of silver on the earth, which was very beautiful.

When Xu Bai opened the door, the intermittent sound became clearer.

Sometimes it was singing loudly, and sometimes it was singing softly. If you put aside the current weird environment, this sound is quite nice.

But in this endless night, a sound appeared inexplicably, even if it was a nice sound, it would be creepy.

Xu Bai closed his eyes, listened carefully for a while, and then opened his eyes again.

When he opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he had heard the content of the sound.

Opera!

This is the singing style of opera. Although there is no text, it can be clearly identified by the humming sound, as if the voice is being strained.

"It's the middle of the night, disturbing my sweet dreams." Xu Bai smacked his lips, pulled out the ghost-head knife, closed his eyes and sensed it for a while, then chased in the direction of the sound.

"You like to sing opera, right? I'll catch you and let you sing for me all night."

Under the night, Xu Bai performed the four-step method, opening and closing, and disappeared in the distance.

...

The more he walked towards the sound, the clearer the sound became, and the louder it became.

When Xu Bai followed the sound and walked to the end of the woods, everything in front of him suddenly became clear.

In front of him was a huge open space, and on the open space, a stage was built with broken wood.

On the stage, stood a slender woman, wearing a costume and putting on theatrical makeup.

Because of the heavy makeup, the face could not be seen clearly, but from the slender figure, the woman was not bad looking.

"Not as good as Liu Xu." Xu Bai thought secretly.

In terms of figure, no one can compare with Liu Xu.

When Xu Bai appeared, the woman on the stage stopped singing, stopped, turned around, and faced Xu Bai directly.

Only then did Xu Bai see the makeup on the other person's face clearly.

In short, Xu Bai was a rough man, he was not as literary as the scholars, and he was not as good at reciting poems and writing couplets as some literati.

Looking at the makeup on the woman's face, he had only two words.

- Not bad.

He could not describe the so-called beauty that could make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese fall to the ground, and moon hide in shame.

Not saying "Fuck", it was already very good.

There was a good saying.

Unfortunately, I am not educated, and I can travel the world with a word of "Fuck".

But "Fuck" is "Fuck", and I still have to beat her.

"Come, sing for me." Xu Bai saw that there was a single seat under the stage, so he walked up and sat on it, looking at the woman on the stage with a teasing look in his eyes.

At first, he thought it was weird, but now it seems that it is a living person.

She came to him in the middle of the night and sang for him. What secrets are there? You will know if you watch more.

"Sir, my opera is very expensive." The woman put her hand on her chin, gently brushed her cheek, and made a shy expression.

"Three." Xu Bai suddenly said.

This word was inexplicable, and the woman was confused.

"Two."

Another word popped out, and the woman's puzzled expression became more.

"One."

Xu Bai sat up from his seat, and then performed the four-step method, and the person had already jumped high and landed on the stage.

"Since you don't want to sing, then just go to hell. Don't play these twists and turns for me."

The ghost-head knife was swung out, with a sharp sound of wind, and under the moonlight, it flashed a chilling light.

Breaking the second style!

This move is derived from the sword technique of the second book of the nameless sword scripture. It is more powerful when used and has reached the third level.

The knife is like a shadow, and the moon is like a plate.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, Xu Bai's eyes were as cold as ice.

He was very annoyed.

If you have something to say, just say it directly. If you have something to say, just fart directly. He has been tossing around all day today, and his heart is already very irritable, and he is still making things confusing.

No talk.

Die for me.

If this woman in costume is a good person, then please say it directly. If she is not a good person, then kill her.

If you don't say it directly, you will be killed again, and you can't blame others.

After all, Xu Bai couldn't figure out whether the other party was holding back some big moves by playing these fake tricks with him.

This is not a game, and it gives the opponent a chance to use a big move.

The costumed woman was obviously stunned, and then she reacted quickly, pulling out a flower spear from the weapon rack next to her, blocking the ghost-head knife in the middle.

"Clang!"

The sound was clear and resounded in the dark night.

The flower spear and the ghost-head knife met, and in just a moment, the costumed woman took two steps back, her chest rising and falling, which was pleasing to the eye.

"Break the armor! Nameless sword technique?"

"No, this is not the nameless sword technique. I have seen nameless sword techniques, but not like yours."

The voice was pleasant and surprising.

"Do dead people talk so much?" Xu Bai raised the ghost-head knife again, ready to continue the attack.

The woman could see the nameless sword technique, but what she didn't know was that the two styles of breaking and breaking had already merged with other sword techniques and became different.

There was a shadow of the nameless sword technique, but not all of it, and it was even stronger.

Seeing Xu Bai's second knife coming, the costumed woman hurriedly said: "Lord Xu, I am a scout under the throne of King Shengyou, and I came here to pass on the order."

A jade token appeared in the costumed woman's hand and was held high by the costumed woman.

The ghost-head knife stopped beside the neck of the happy woman.

Xu Bai took out another jade token from his waist, which was exactly the same as the jade token in the costumed woman's hand.

He put away the ghost-head knife and cursed, "Are you sick?"

The costumed woman was relieved to see Xu Bai put away the knife. When she was about to speak, she was suddenly cursed again, and she was completely confused.

"Just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush. I just cut your head with one knife and your head flew off."

The costumed woman: "..."

To be honest, she didn't want to do that.

"My ability is just this kind. I don't dare to step into the Yinyi rashly. It's really a secret matter, so I used a familiar method to trick Lord Xu out."

When she said this, the costumed woman seemed very ashamed.

She really didn't expect that the other party had such a bad temper and would fight directly when they met. After all, she had never encountered it before.

"Then why didn't you say it directly when you saw me?" Xu Bai asked again.

When she mentioned this, the costumed woman's face turned slightly red.

"This... this... isn't it said that when masters meet, they have to show some temperament, so I think that temperament can only be achieved in this way."

Xu Bai: "..."

"Don't blame me, Lord Xu. I was only recently recruited into the army by the prince, so I don't understand a lot of things." The costumed woman talked more and more confusingly.

Xu Bai always felt that this costumed woman was very stupid.

"Let's talk about business."

There is no way. When you meet a stupid person, it is better to be simple and direct.

He was very curious. According to what the costumed woman said, King Shengyou sent her to find him, and it seemed that he didn't want people to know.

So, what is it?

I have been taking nucleic acid every day recently, and I feel uncomfortable.
